Truly God is good to Israel, to those whose hearts are pure. But as for me, I almost lost my footing. My feet were slipping, and I was almost gone. For I envied the proud when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness. They seem to live such painless lives; their bodies are so healthy and strong. They don’t have troubles like other people; they’re not plagued with problems like everyone else. They wear pride like a jeweled necklace and clothe themselves with cruelty. These fat cats have everything their hearts could ever wish for! They scoff and speak only evil; in their pride they seek to crush others. They boast against the very heavens, and their words strut throughout the earth. And so the people are dismayed and confused, drinking in all their words. “What does God know?” they ask. “Does the Most High even know what’s happening?” Look at these wicked people— enjoying a life of ease while their riches multiply.

How do you keep your hope anchored in Christ in the face of so much suffering and injustice in the world? One of our former aid workers shares three testimonies of how God lifted the darkness in three different circumstances while she was serving the most vulnerable on the frontlines. **The photos used for these devotionals are from Medair locations not associated with the stories. **

This 4-day Bible plan on envy, inspired by Psalm 73, explores how envy can erode our contentment, lead us to moral compromise, and damage our relationship with God. The psalmist’s journey, marked by internal struggles and doubts, reveals timeless insights for us today: true fulfillment isn't found in comparing ourselves with others but in delighting in God's presence and trusting His provision. As we walk through these reflections, we'll see how embracing an eternal perspective and treasuring our relationship with God can guard our hearts against envy, leading us to lasting contentment and peace.

Looking for purpose? There's one thing keeping you from it: yourself. We create roadblocks from our past. In return, our purpose is flawed from the beginning. But like a mosaic, your purpose is made from the broken pieces. In the Makers & Monsters Devotional Plan, Josh White takes us through the story of David, and how "the man after God's own heart" was also flawed, yet so close to Jesus.
In a world filled with injustice, social unrest, political division, and polarized opinions, what would God have us do? Do we protest and fight injustice, or do we pray and ask God to intervene? Maybe we do both. In this study, we look to God's word for help to live within the tension.
